“Elysium is as far as to
The very nearest Room
If in that Room a Friend await
Felicity or doom.
What fortitude the soul contains
That it can so endure
The accent of a coming foot,
The opening of a door?”
― Poems By Emily Dickinson

“Take a newspaper.
Take some scissors.
Choose from this paper an article of the length you want to make your poem.
Cut out the article.
Next carefully cut out each of the words that makes up this article and put them all in a bag.
Shake gently.
Next take out each cutting one after the other.
Copy conscientiously in the order in which they left the bag.
The poem will resemble you.
And there you are -- an infinitely original author of charming sensibility, even though unappreciated by the vulgar herd.”
― Seven Dada Manifestos and Lampisteries
